[edit] The question between the genuine, the true and the fake
- It's important to know
- Your destiny and your hereafter future depend on it
- Some people spent a lifetime to find such answers
- Marks or proofs of genuineness <or true..>
[edit] Introduction remarks
I am an expert in religious matters, another discipline known to some people as metaphysical under the religion phenomena. The histories of mankind is full and filled with many religions, and for most of us in Singapore we are usually confused with the variety of many denominations, cults, sects even within the scope of one single religion like Christianity. I am not attempting to prove any of the religions as truth or even real<BTW all religions are real or they won’t exist in Singapore>, but it is utmost importance for the sincere seeker to find out. I am here to do some helps for such a sincere seeker.
[edit] (1) It's important to know
I take it that Singaporeans are interested in every exotic metaphysics phenomena, but do you really want to know the truth about things. I was not surprised when I saw lately on the TV <media> that a bunch of seekers were on track after the bigfoot in Johore state, our Malaysian neighbor. All they got to show was a single bigfoot imprint they made to verify their findings, and this they even send a documented copy to the state of Johore authority. Maybe the Johorean authorities are more than glad, good for advertisement too! However, that's the extend those young people are willing to brave the snakes and mosquito bites to go and look for the big foot. I am a seeker too, and especially on many facets points in life, in many disciplines and especially on the veracity of not just religions but in particular 'Christianity ' .
[edit] (2) Your destiny and hereafter or eternal security depends on it
Here in Singapore we are all crazy about our future well being, and we brought a bunch of insurances for many protection against all possible unforeseen or even unlikely events like travel insurance, sickness insurances, old age insurances, life insurances, health insurances, professional doctors liability insurances etc. Some of those insurance we most likely may not need or able to claim since we live healthy and never will need go for cancer treatment or surgical operations. So what if in case you need it? I don't advice against or for such schemes <insurances> if they help you to feel better and good. Besides, it's your own protection against a bad or rainy day. I myself can hardly afford even the cheapest of such insurances, and even the medical CPF insurances made compulsory or mandatory I have no fund for it, so I am only partially covered should I go for a cancer treatmen. If I know for certain when I will get it, of course I will buy it, and why not? My own youngest brother is now going through some hard times, he is only a part time taxi driver with typical working wife <wonderful supportive partner too> and two young growing kids still in school. He has to go for chemotherapy at the General hospital. and I hope he had brought one of those help insurances to cover. If it happened to me, I just will have to ask God to take me home, I can't afford it! So what is the point: "the issue is not about money, or insurances but whether some of these companies will survive to pay out when you may want to claim or will they pay at all"' I don't want anyone to doubt the ability of some of these big insurers like NTUC, Great Eastern. Prudential, AAA or whatever.. They all have billions in their holdings and they have the ability to pay and any amount of payout when there is a genuine claim otherwise we Singaporeans will not contribute to their coffers for nothing! Have you read the fine print on each of their insurance you have brought? Be better to be sure, go read it carefully! If you buy a travel accident insurance, and you go to Switzerland to enjoy the snow and highland fun, and <it so happen unfortunately> you ended up with a very expensive accidental fall when you tried to ski and fall<broken your neck> Will they pay you any medical expenses which you will be incurring? That is a very important question because some travel insurances do not cover dangerous sports and such risks <and with your lawyers in Court will not help> are not covered! Did you read or if you don't read the fine print what will happen then after your fall? Some accident coverage includes that, but be better to be sure, read it! Some pamphlets only mentioned casually:
- do not covered risks associated with competitive and dangerous sports as follows:...>
- Therefore find out if they will pay, and for religions if they are able to do what they all claimed to give or forgiveness or whatever eternal security you are looking for!
[edit] (3) Some people spent a lifetime to find such answers
When I was a young fellow of about seven years old I remembered looking into the deep blue skies and wondered about some of the questions our great scientists are still looking for. I am not that smart like Einstein who dreamed of sunbeams traveling into the blue beyond and came out with his mathematical mind formula of<E=mc2>Energy equal to the Mass multiply by C, the velocity to the square root of 2; or The Great Isaac Newton when an lucky apple came down upon his hard head then suddenly he came out with the theory of gravity<that's a myth!> What is life ? Does anyone know, yes the true purpose of life, and what's this: universe they called? Who am I really<identity>? Moreover, why am I here?
- At the end of his life when the great Einstein had nothing to fall upon and he returned to his old belief in Judaism, a religion too! Newton was a Christian. I am a Christian too, but the story of my faith had been a long road all the way from Singapore to Canada and around the world looking for those answers! I went to enrolled with Bible institutions and colleges to study about my faith. I had been very diligent to find those answers myself. I read the fine print too <about the Bible and Christianity>: Alien talk 08:55, 19 March 2006 (SGT)
- Confucius was a great thinker, and dealing with the metaphysics he avoided the issue with one statement: If you cannot do well in life why wonder with death..<hereafter> ! That’ll.. for a great thinker.
[edit] (4) Marks or proofs of genuineness <or true..>
Among Singaporeans when we come down to the bottom question : it's all about Money, money and money! However to really determine an article <things like money, silver, gold, precious gemstones, diamonds, etc> the genuineness is what is worth. You never find any gemologist experts certifying fakes colour stones for real<genuine, and true> or a diamond dealer with <fake stones> such as zirconia or a money changer giving you counterfeit money for exchange. They all know it's bad, bad & BAD for advertisement, if they deal only ‘‘once’’ with such fakes, yes just once, and nobody in Singapore will trust them again! The Police will definitely come to pay them visits. I also meant to say that there are<also> many claims by people to be real and then turn out to be conmen or fakes especially in religious matters. I don't want any here to think I am a great expert too, I just<obtained> a basic degree in studying Christianity as in Biblical Studies and it's not recognized here in Singapore by anybody except most churches affiliated with my inter-denominational, evangelical connections.
I will<WELCOME> be glad when someone or anybody try to write and made some critical comments about alien or me!
[edit] An example of what's a fake
Even when found printed under Strait Times is no surety that it is really a genuine Kai Yuan old dynasty coins! These are obviously Japanese fakes like the one I am holding in my own possessions! I brought one for $45 with a receipt to show, and that <Kai Yuan old > coin has a silver content not found in actual copper old Kai Yuan coins. However, but my own research in the Internet sources proved otherwise, it's obviously a fake! When in doubt seek for answers and sometime a simple loop <magnifying X 10 or 20 glass tell more than what normal eyes can see! : Alien talk 09:43, 19 March 2006 (SGT)
A fake, yeah, and it has some silver <whiteness> in its content too!
